Thieves took 30 palm plants and 30 gallons of gasoline from a nursery west of Boca Raton, Palm Beach County sheriff`s deputies said.

Using the nursery`s golf cart on Tuesday night, the thieves hauled queen palms, worth about $22.50 each, from the back of the nursery to their vehicle at the front of Sunny State Nursery and Landscape Co., 8833 Clint Moore Road, deputies said.

After loading the palms, the thieves filled their vehicle at the nursery`s gasoline pumps, investigators said.
